5.1 Connections

Follow the steps mentioned below to connect the vehicle:

1. Turn OFF the ignition key.

Fig. 5-1

2. Locate vehicle’s DLC socket: The DLC (Data Link

Connector) is the standardized 16-cavity connector where

diagnostic code readers interface with the vehicle’s on-

board computer. It is usually located 12 inches from the

center of the instrument panel (dash), under or around

the driver’s side for most vehicles. If Data Link Connector

is not located under dashboard, a label should be there

telling location. For some Asian and European vehicles,

the DLC is located behind the ashtray and the ashtray

must be removed to access the connector.

If the DLC cannot be found, refer to the vehicle’s service

manual for the location.

3. Plug one end of the diagnostic cable to DB-15 connector

of the tablet, and tighten the captive screws. Connect the

other end to the vehicle’s OBD II DLC (Note: Make sure

that Vehicle battery voltage range should be 11.4-14V).
